corn mazes

Corn mazes are a form of agritourism that provides entertainment for all ages. Elaborate pictorial mazes can be cut into growing corn fields to establish a path for tourists to travel. There are private companies that can be hired to license and cut the mazes, or individuals can cut their own using GPS and GIS technology. When charging visitors to enter a corn maze, certain considerations for safety issues of visitors must be considered. The following publications and websites provide information about constructing corn mazes.
